Do your projects need one?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/why-conduct-an-integrated-schedule-analysis/) - Integrated assessment of a schedule is a must! Proper schedule risk quantification requires an integration that has all the needed elements under consideration. All activities have to be part of the same deterministic network during the calculation, with all essential and correct relationships preserved. One significant indicator that a schedule lacks integration is the presence - [The Three Blind Managers and the Elephant](https://pmsolutionpro.com/the-three-blind-managers-and-the-elephant/) - The range of understanding runs a distance between true and false but never in absolute terms.

The rule of thumb to follow: Projects should not be sanctioned when the unknowns far exceed the knowns. Data maturity is a project attribute project managers have to deal with in some intelligent way. They seek to formulate a way to address missing and incomplete information and strike a balance. Integrating a project with missing or insufficient work scopes is not ideal. Filling in an information space with assumed fill-in data is a risky trade-off. - [How to effectively manage Primavera P6 Database by Improving it’s Security through Correct Management of the Responsible Manager Code (RMC)](https://pmsolutionpro.com/p6-admin-db-security-tips/) - Project’s request to restrict access of other Users to their project schedules & portfolios seemed to have failed. Unauthorized access remains a problem. Contractors working concurrently in the same database were able to sometime see the client’s schedule and modified certain critical attributes despite the security protocol being enforced. Worst of all, one schedule was completely deleted by someone and have to be recovered from the back-end by the Database Administrator through the existing back-up and recovery protocol. Dorothy was checking Marco’s security access because he couldn't add resources and found that all his projects have the Responsible Manager’s Code set to the Contractor’s OBS code. She figured that Marco might have used the contractor’s original schedule as a starting project file in developing his project schedule. Back in June 2010, Primavera User John and Mark had put together a schedule that sat on the back burner while the Project team worked on other priorities. When it came time to set the baseline, John and Mark decided to do a quick check to make sure nothing had changed. Mark hit the F9 button and about 80% of the activities moved to the right. The dates moved by 4 to 20 days. The two of them checked the calendar they were using but they were fine. The Primavera database Administrator checked who else was using the calendar and the schedule and found that only John and Mark were given direct access to this schedule. John now went back to the schedule, changed some lags and logics trying to correct the schedule discrepancies. The effort took more than a day to complete, time which the project really do not have. What has gone wrong? Find out what happened.

Project confidence is higher when the team knows the target schedule is achievable. It is also cheaper and more economical. Quantification assesses the overall schedule risk of a project. The schedule baseline becomes risk-based because risk probability and consequence are measured. I espouse using a P50 Risk-based baseline as the middle-ground. However, other synchronized schedule baselines such as P40, P60, or higher are also possible. - [Black Swan is a Remarkable Risk Management Concept](https://pmsolutionpro.com/black-swan-is-a-remarkable-risk-management-concept/) - Unknown unknowns (black swans) might be in the room, or even an elephant, for all we know, but we cannot see them until circumstances make them visible. Once we see that the risk exists, we surmise that it no longer qualifies as a black swan event because we are now aware of the risk, and the element of surprise is no longer there. It is now the typical type of risk that you and many risk managers are already familiar with, the known unknowns. - [Who can provide remote Schedule Management and Quality Assessment?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/who-can-provide-remote-schedule-management-and-quality-assessment/) - PM Solution Pro offers remote support in Schedule Management, Quality Assessments, Reviews, and Audits.

A good quality schedule brings about good, and reliable quantitative results. Good quality begets good project management that begets good results. The consequences of a poor-quality schedule are practically endless. If unaddressed, the schedule remains counter-intuitive, disconnected, or disjointed, resulting in poor project control. - [How to Spot Risk Early for Stronger Leadership](https://pmsolutionpro.com/seeing-risk-before-it-strikes-the-discipline-that-gives-leaders-more-time-and-better-choices/) - Identifying risk - Critical Risk Management Process helps leaders spot uncertainty early, widening the decision window and improving choices. - [How to Master Risk Discovery: Essential Techniques and Habits](https://pmsolutionpro.com/how-to-master-risk-discovery-essential-techniques-and-habits/) - Discover how Risk Management: Risk Identification sharpens insight and avoids blind spots through structure, curiosity, and diverse viewpoints. - [Think Clearly About Risk](https://pmsolutionpro.com/foundations-of-risk-thinking/) - Before we go deeper into our risk foundation topic, I want us to see risk thinking as a single, connected discipline, not a collection of separate terms.

An integrated plan deserves an integrated schedule. Poor integration will result in counter-intuitive, disconnected, or disjointed plans and schedules. It often translates to inadequate time, cost, and risk management. Other problems spawned by ignoring integration are flawed quantitative schedule risk assessment, faulty critical path - [Old Man's Wisdom is a Risk-based Decision-making Approach](https://pmsolutionpro.com/old-mans-wisdom-heuristics-is-a-risk-based-decision-making-approach/) - In project settings (or even in other endeavors), the manager must contend with having too much information.

Messengers who bring unwanted but factual news must be appreciated, not placed on a chopping block. What should be the approach of open-minded management? Should we be worried that a management receptive to new and different ideas or opinions will prevent a risk framework from being effective? We always hear about streamlining a management process as we begin a new project because we want to increase efficiency and productivity. - [How to address your Schedule Baseline Dilemma](https://pmsolutionpro.com/how-to-address-your-schedule-baseline-dilemma/) - A good risk-based plan will translate to an excellent risk-based schedule, but it continues beyond there. To complete the statement loop, one must say, "A good schedule feeds back to the risk-based plan to make it better." Project management does not end after the team develops a project plan. The plan is more of a starting point than completing a management process. When client and contractor start throwing accusations against each other surrounding schedule baseline management, one can easily conclude that a problem or issue is brewing. It can turn into significant risks. - [How about understanding your Project’s Schedule Critical Path better?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/how-about-understanding-your-projects-schedule-critical-path-better/) - I have encountered many self-proclaimed planning/scheduling experts in the construction industry. The concern is when the discussion revolves around the critical path fundamentals; more than half cannot explain its essence. They need to have that picture-perfect impression of what it really is. Does this mean that the term critical path is but a salesperson's word? How can we trust a project manager, a project specialist, or a scheduling expert who does not know one of the most important aspects of scheduling and good project management? - [Why conduct an Integrated Schedule Analysis? Do your projects need one?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/why-conduct-an-integrated-schedule-analysis-do-your-projects-need-one/) - Integrated assessment of a schedule is a must! Good integration is impossible amidst poor quality information. Achieving the desired level of execution quality at an early stage is next to impossible unless it is an exact replica of a previous project, a cookie-cutter project. This writeup will help you appreciate the importance of schedule integration through out the project's phases. Understanding that proper integration is one of schedule's best quality attributes. Implementing the practice will surely lead to better project results. Reflect on your own professional experience about plan and schedule integration and you'll realize quickly that integration is needed for all project management elements to communicate properly and prevent the project from falling apart. - [How to Estimate a Steam Power Plant Annual Operating Budget-Simple Approach](https://pmsolutionpro.com/how-to-estimate-a-steam-power-plant-annual-operational-budget-simple-approach/) - Suppose there is a choice between two production methods; the usual favored approach would be the one with the lowest total cost. However, it is not always the best choice. Therefore, presenting a straightforward approach to calculating the unit cost is essential. We can use it to facilitate the selection of the best alternatives with an optimized economic return. This book introduces the method of obtaining the material (or process) unit cost of a Steam Power Plant to calculate its annual operating budget and touches on the reliable estimation of operation, maintenance, and project works.

He was the Provincial Administrator-in-charged of socio-political affairs at that time (1976). My dad articulated that the statement is about goals, objectives, missions, and visions. Some are grander, and some are simpler. Instead of saying, "there's no greater goal than a personal goal," he chose the word "interest" to sum it up. Of course, as can be expected of most young people, what I heard went from one ear and out the other. I only began to realize the wisdom of his statement years later. - [What is the Purpose of a Phantom Schedule?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/purpose-of-a-phantom-schedule/) - A client or contractor may develop it individually with each one, believing that it is more reliable than the current official schedule and/or the existing baseline. Construction contractor can come up with a more aggressive version of the contractual schedule to create some form of relief time zones. It creates some form of time buffer zones by using earlier schedule plan dates. The sub-contractor then sign on a more optimistic schedule with the contractor. The contractor hides the already optimistic phantom schedule for background update. At this point, and just on the contractor-subcontractor side alone, there are already four schedules at play and being maintained separately; i.e. 1) subcontract schedule, 2) subcontract phantom schedule, 3) contractor phantom schedule, and 4) contract schedule. A recent technical article rightly stated the same thing, that one of the reasons why a phantom schedule is developed is “when the client no longer has any faith that the contractor’s contract schedule submittals are realistic (Beisler, S. & Zack, J., 2016.Cost Engineering. May\Jun 2016. p21). - [Phantom Schedule, Ghost Schedule, Do your projects really need one?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/the-phantom-schedule/) - A phantom schedule (ghost schedule) is a non-official schedule prepared behind the official scheduling scene. The timing of its creation can be anywhere between project start date to completion.

A new life is before us!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/happy-easter-2022-everyone-a-new-life-is-before-us/) - Easter, also called Resurrection Day and Pascha, is a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus Christ returning from the dead. Christians believe that it is the holiest day in the year. Some people who are not Christians celebrate it also as a cultural holiday. The New Testament states that on the Sunday after Jesus was killed, his body was no longer in the tomb where he was laid. Later, Jesus is said to have appeared to over 500 people and preached to them. The New Testament teaches that the resurrection of Jesus is what Christianity is based on. - [Simple Guide to Understanding Planning and Scheduling Process Through the Project Gates](https://pmsolutionpro.com/planning-and-scheduling-through-the-gates/) - Project planning and scheduling processes follow a management framework called the Project Implementation Model (PIM). Such model divides the project into sub-boundaries called stages, gates, or checkpoints. Does not really matter what proprietary term they call it. Company Y can call it Y-PIM (Company Y Implementation Model). Construction firm ABC might call theirs ABC-PIM. Company - [Integrated Schedules, Must Have in Program Portfolio Management](https://pmsolutionpro.com/integrated-schedule-a-must-have-in-program-management/) - Program management is the process of managing several related projects typically to enhance an organization's outlook, better its industry reputation, to improve overall productivity and to avail of long-term opportunities. I would like to re-share with you today one of the approaches I've formulated and used in achieving Program Schedule Integration in the not too distant past. Management of interdependent multiple projects calls for an integrated approach. Interdependent in a sense that some activities of one project cannot start or finish without the predecessor project activities from another project or supporting group started or completed. For small to medium size program portfolio, effectively managing the overall and overarching schedule can still be quite challenging for Project Managers. - [Truth of the Matter is “No End in Sight to COVID 19”](https://pmsolutionpro.com/truth-of-the-matter-is-no-end-in-sight-to-covid-19/) - Now, the whole world is pretty much in the same fix. Two years into this Covid era is very frustrating, bringing a bunch of physical, spiritual, behavioral, and moral problems with it. We all want this plague to humanity to end, but how can something end if the world's top scientists don't know where and how the virus started. Yes, the old saying said, "every beginning has an end." What do you think will happen if nobody understands the beginning while the virus is possibly replicating to another strain like the Delta and the Omicron in real-time? - [PM Solution Pro prays for world-wide physical and spiritual healing in the New Year 2022!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/let-us-pray-together-for-world-wide-physical-and-spiritual-healing/) - Let us pray together for world-wide physical and spiritual healing!

We have successfully used Deltek Acumen Fuse toolset in supporting various clients and project organizations. Our team can also guide your project organization in the development of your very own standard in-house Schedule Quality Metrics, making it possible to assess an entire project portfolio in a fraction of the time compared to manual means. The correctness, accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of a Project Schedule depend heavily on its quality. A good quality brings about project success. Good quality gives project managers a good handle on what needs doing. As such, he gets good results. Conversely, the consequences of a poor-quality schedule are practically endless. If unaddressed, the schedule remains counter-intuitive, disconnected, or disjointed, resulting in poor project control. Low quality produces a bad schedule not fit for quantitative risk analysis, making incorrect probability calculations. It will also likely generate a flawed critical path, influencing the project to focus on the wrong activities and priorities. - [Preparing for Schedule Quantitative Risk Analysis (SQRA)](https://pmsolutionpro.com/preparing-for-schedule-quantitative-risk-analysis-sqra/) - Preparing for project's Schedule Quantitative Risk Analysis is like painting a wall. The wall preparation takes the longest before the final paint coat is applied. The last layer becomes as essential as sanding debris and covering all holes with joint compounds. Up to 80 percent of the Schedule Quantitative Risk Analysis (SQRA) effort is preparing the risk model. The remaining twenty percent (20%) is on the proper use of the tool, e.g., OPRA, previously called PertMaster, Deltek Acumen Risk, and others. If the schedule is not of good quality and not modeled correctly, then the 80% effort amounted to nothing. The resulting assessment can become unreliable if not all wrong that it can derail the project! A schedule accepted for risk analysis that dramatically deviates from the project execution plan creates troubling scenarios that keep project managers reasonably on edge. One must not forget the cardinal rule that the schedule is a reflection of the plan. If the construction execution plan violates the overall execution strategy, the project is a good candidate for failure. Everyone should be on deck and looking at the same goal if it is to succeed. - [Risk Relativity](https://pmsolutionpro.com/2994-2/) - For a thief, a good security system is a threat. To a security guard, that same system is an opportunity to lessen the risk of robbery and to increase the chance of catching the thieves. A person’s perspective depends on which side of the fence they are sitting on. With that in mind, a risk can be a threat or an opportunity. It is relative from a point of view. Your business sees a threat and your competitor sees an opportunity. It is as simple as that. Each individual player within the risk universe will see things a bit differently compared to the next person, with some people interpreting things in exactly the opposite fashion. In each case, the person can see only one set of attributes. Anyone who contemplate risk should consider that threats also bring with it opportunities and opportunities can also brings threats. - [Risk Assessment Window: COVID-19 Trend for the next 9-months](https://pmsolutionpro.com/covid-19-trend-for-the-next-9-months/) - The talk of going back to work has been heating up in the last three months prior to August 2021. While we are all hoping to get back on track to pre-pandemic time, it is prudent to observe first what will happen for the rest of the year before declaring any form of normalcy in the get-back-to work order. So the timeframe from now to the First Quarter of 2022 is the acid test. It will show where we are in this COVID19 situation. It looks like many Canadians are still in the category of most at risk despite having been vaccinated, so they'd probably like to see that there will be no resurgence of the pandemic in the coming winter months like what happened in the winter months of 2020. - [To All Good Dads, Happy Father’s Day!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/happy-fathers-day-to-all-good-dads/) - Father’s Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds and the influence of fathers in society. Father’s Day was not celebrated in the US, outside Catholic traditions, until the 20th century. As a civic celebration in the US, it was inaugurated in the early 20th century to complement Mother’s Day by celebrating fathers and - [Managing the Contentious Project Calendars](https://pmsolutionpro.com/managing-the-contentious-project-calendars/) - The project calendar is a contentious element of a schedule. The challenge here is that the project schedules are often not talking about one or two calendars. The project, through the schedulers, has a nasty habit of creating numerous calendars. I have reviewed one major project a few years back that had 11 calendars. The contractors prepared the sub-projects separately, thinking that each one will have a different calendar. The good thing is that, upon closer inspection, five of the eleven calendars were practically the same. Many planners/schedulers do not take enough care of their schedule calendars. Taking on a new project schedule without inspecting the attributes of the assigned calendars becomes the norm. - [New Beautiful, Relaxing, Comforting Views of Sunrise, Sunsets, Clouds, and Skies, & Heavenly Sounds](https://pmsolutionpro.com/new-beautiful-relaxing-comforting-views-of-sunrise-sunsets-clouds-and-skies-heavenly-sounds/) - Welcome to KATHAKO Relaxing, Comforting, Calming Nature Videography!

In all the upcoming festive gatherings, make sure you don’t forget the grandparents who started you all! They are very much a part of each family unit that came to be. They’d be thrilled with even just a call from their kids and of course, from their loveable, innocent and amazing grandchildren. In this challenging time of the pandemic, togetherness can be expressed in many ways. To those belonging in the same household, it's your chance to savor the closeness that many can't enjoy and few can boast of. - [How to Visualize Risk](https://pmsolutionpro.com/visualizing-risk/) - Mark is boarding a plane and heard one passenger in front remarked in jest that the chance of the aircraft reaching its destination is 50%. It is just a joke to him because he is a serious risk practitioner. The statement demonstrates the probability component of risk. - [How to Visualize Risk Probability](https://pmsolutionpro.com/visualizing-risk-probability/) - Probability is a measure of uncertainty of risk consequence. If the impact is zero, then the logical consideration is gone. There is no risk because it will not happen. If the probability is above zero, then the consequence might happen—the greater the possibility, the greater the chance of the subject consequence from happening. - [Remembrance Day Reflection : Acknowledging the courage and sacrifice of our heroes](https://pmsolutionpro.com/remembrance-day-reflection-acknowledging-the-courage-and-sacrifice-of-our-heroes/) - The awesome pride and inspiration our heroes brought to the present generation strengthens the resolve of all freedom-loving people of the world. Nations owe them this day of remembrance. We must reflect on their sacrifices in their fight to preserve liberty and justice for all. We are all fortunate recipients of their ultimate gift, freedom. God bless their souls! - [Schedule Quantitative Risk Analysis (Traditional Method)](https://pmsolutionpro.com/schedule-quantitative-risk-analysis-traditional-method/) - Schedule quantitative risk analysis (SQRA) is a process of calculating the overall probability or chance of completing a project on time and on budget. Quantification uses various approaches and methods. Duration ranging is the most popular one, and often referred to as the “traditional method” of schedule risk analysis. It is simple and easy to understand. New and upcoming project managers, leaders, planners and schedulers would love to wrap their heads around this special risk-based knowledge area and will enjoy reading this book. I want the readers to confidently embark on schedule quantitative risk analysis without apprehension, with the absence of doubt and anxiety because it is done properly. - [PM Solution Pro talks about Seavus ScheduleReader](https://pmsolutionpro.com/pmsp_schedulereader/) - Whether you are working on a small project or a massive billion-worth project, it is important to have project management software that allows team collaboration to complete the project within the planned budget and time. Everyone in the team should be up-to-date with the recent changes of the project plan. Updating Progress Using ScheduleReader Usually companies have weekly status reports where the project manager is in the middle of the project information flow. In fact, they receive the updates from the team members, making sure that the project milestones will be finished on time, and then creates updates to the project plan in order to pass the information to the others involved in the project. However, if you want everything to go smoothly in the company workflow, as well as to encourage team productivity and efficiency, you will need a tool that follows the concept of simplicity, and yet owning powerful functionalities to keep activities on track. - [The Story of Two Bulls (Plan and Impulse)](https://pmsolutionpro.com/the-story-of-two-bulls-plan-and-impulse/) - A colleague in the oil and gas industry was trying to be funny that day and was delivering another one of his patented jokes. I do not usually take notice because I find myself always busy with work but the story resonated differently so I came closer, and to his surprise, I started taking notes. This bull story somehow relates to business strategy and acumen. I want to remember it and now I am sharing it to you. - [PM Solution Pro, on the right path as a Seavus and Deltek Partner!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/pm-solution-pro-on-the-right-path-as-a-seavus-and-deltek-partner/) - PM SOLUTION PRO is excited to announce its recent strategic partnership with SEAVUS, a world-class software development and consulting company with 15 offices supporting 4,000 clients in eight (8) countries.

Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of July 1, 1867, the effective date of the Constitution Act, 1867 (then called the British North America Act, 1867), which united the three separate colonies of the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single Dominion - [Lessons Learned concerning Schedule Quality Assessment](https://pmsolutionpro.com/schedule-quality-assessment/) - The quality metric designed to measure the project’s Execution Schedule should not be used to measure its DBM schedule. While the former might be a complete, fully detailed schedule ready for execution, the latter lacks maturity, details and completeness. It is like giving the University Senior Year Final examination to High School Freshmen students. It is best to understand first the most pressing quality requirements of the project schedule at its specific stage of development before applying the metric. - [Revelation 13:11-18 The Beast out of the Earth](https://pmsolutionpro.com/revelation-1311-18-the-beast-out-of-the-earth/) - I love to draw! COVID-19 has given me time to renew my love for the illustrative art. The illustration below (circa 1992) was my interpretation of the Bible’s Revelation Chapter 13 verse 11-18. Very timely reminder to many In this difficult time that the future is at stake. It is my hope and prayer that the picture brings fresh perspective to us all. - [Happy Father’s Day 2019 to all Dads out there!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/happy-fathers-day2019/) - The greatest gift a father can give to his children is to love and respect their mother (Hesburgh, T., 1917-2015). The greatest gift a married wife can give to the father of her children is loyalty and being true to her vows. The best way to honour a good father is through respect and obedience. This Father’s Day, Don’t forget to honour them! Cheers to all loving Father! May your number grows and your influence multiplies! - [Managing Black Swans?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/managing-black-swans-2/) - Unknown unknowns (black swans) might be in the room, for all we know, but we just cannot see them until circumstances make them visible. Once we see that the risk exists, we would surmise that it no longer qualifies as a black swan event, because we are now aware of the risk, and the element of surprise is no longer there. It is now the normal type of risk that many risk managers are already familiar with, the known unknowns. - [Happy Mother’s Day to all good and responsible Moms!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/happy-mothers-day2020/) - The greatest gift a man can give to his children is to love and respect their mother (Hesburgh, T., 1917-2015). Mother’s Day is here. Don’t forget to honour your mother. Remember your better half! Cheers to all loving Moms! - [MY DELTEK ACUMEN FUSE STORY](https://pmsolutionpro.com/my-deltek-acumen-fuse-story/) - I've found Acumen fuse becoming more important and pivotal to the project as the scope and estimate mature. This becomes especially true when accompanied by increasing details and complexity of the schedule. It can perform a repeatable and consistent analytical review of the project schedule, a much-needed handle during gate reviews, cold eyes evaluation, interactive planning, strategic sessions, risk assessments, quantitative analysis, schedule cleansing, and more. - [Remembrance Day Reflection : “Fear is a Reaction. Courage is a Decision”](https://pmsolutionpro.com/remembrance-day-2019/) - Sir Winston Churchill once said, “Fear is a Reaction. Courage is a Decision.” Such a statement makes me appreciate more of our fallen heroes. The awesome pride and inspiration they brought to those who survived strengthened the resolve of all freedom-loving people of the world. Quite clearly, nations remembering their fight to preserve liberty for future generations make all emotionally happy. We are all fortunate recipients of their ultimate sacrifice. God bless their souls! In today’s modern world, courage has taken a variety of forms in pursuit of certain subterfuge goals. Sadly, unbeknownst to many, they’re being led as sheeps to a slaughter. As a reflection, let us all be vigilant! We need to open our eyes, ears, and mind before making any life-changing decision, especially something that might adversely affect our nation and the world. Make it doubly sure that we are after something real, based on truths and goodness. - [Website security: What to do if your Website Form reCaptcha is not showing?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/website-security-what-to-do-if-your-website-form-recaptcha-is-not-showing/) - One of the company websites I managed was gravely impacted by bots attack recently. The first indicator was some noticeable changes to the websites standard/original formatting. This creates unsightly pages, poor font placements and bad colour combinations. Another adverse impact of the bots after gaining access was to target files, preventing seamless updates. It was difficult to detect because the site seems to continue working. Some pages looked like they’re not affected but only because it was showing static page from the cache. - [Is LinkedIn Premium necessary?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/is-linkedin-premium-necessary/) - LinkedIn Premium plans aren’t cheap. This is why I took the most affordable one that fits my immediate professional objectives. Although I have always felt that I’m paying more than it was worth, I’ve used it for about two years. With the economic downturn that COVID-19 has brought to the fore, work and profitability have become more uncertain. I’m not so sure anymore. It looked pricier than before. It has become less attractive, a good candidate to cutting corners. After all, three hundred sixty dollars a year can be used for something else. It will be like stopping subscription to certain applications and plugins that’s used only once in a while. It’s a form of housekeeping. What do you think? - [Can access to RRSP sans the tax burden bridge the financial strait of some Canadians amid COVID-19?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/can-access-to-rrsp-sans-the-tax-burden-bridge-the-financial-strait-of-some-canadians-amid-covid-19/) - The domino effect of this health crisis leading to financial downturn, unemployment and disarray, will also bring with it major political and commercial upheaval globally that will affect even the least of us all. While the government has introduced one form of relief trying to be ahead of the necessity curb through the CERB (Canada Emergency Response Benefits), other means have to be made available. - [A Project Management Question about Success and Failure](https://pmsolutionpro.com/a-question-of-success-and-failure/) - According to your project management best practices concept of success, do you think that the project described below is successful? Or, do you think it is not? Please explain your answer. Your valuable professional input is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. A $3.5billion petrochemicals project was earmarked to produce 175 metric tons per year from its Polyethylene (PE) Plant and 175 metric tons from Polypropylene (PP) plant. The baseline production target date was projected to be delayed by four months or more due to the design, equipment and material issues of the standby extruder/pelletizing mechanical train of the PP and PE unit. Stakeholders and sponsors were nervously and eagerly awaiting to start production as orders were already piled, lined up for the next twelve months. A month of delay in production will be very costly. To the sponsors, a day delay is unthinkable. - [Integrated Schedule, a Must Have in Program Management](https://pmsolutionpro.com/program-management/) - Program management is the process of managing several related projects typically to enhance an organization's outlook, better its industry reputation, to improve overall productivity and to avail of long-term opportunities. I would like to re-share with you today one of the approaches I've formulated and used in achieving Program Schedule Integration in the not too distant past. Management of interdependent multiple projects calls for an integrated approach. Interdependent in a sense that some activities of one project cannot start or finish without the predecessor project activities from another project or supporting group started or completed. For small to medium size program portfolio, effectively managing the overall and overarching schedule can still be quite challenging for Project Managers. - [Book cover design for new book](https://pmsolutionpro.com/book-cover-design1/) - I have always wanted to write about risk-based management principles in a poetic form. The uncanny characteristic of a poem to send information with amazing clarity catches our senses so that we suddenly become more receptive. We listen more and even unconsciously let down our guard. Our biases disappear to consider the intended message. - [The Risk Management Poem (Children’s Book for all Professionals)](https://pmsolutionpro.com/the-risk-manager-poem/) - I have always wanted to write about risk-based management principles in a poetic form. The uncanny characteristic of a poem to send the intended message with amazing clarity catches our senses so that we suddenly become more receptive. We listen more and even unconsciously let down our guard. Our biases disappear to consider the intended message. Today, I am happy to share some segments of that original 18-stanza rhyme poem of (8-6-8-6 metric). The poem wants to present the fundamental concepts of risk in simple terms that even children can understand. - [Christmas Day Reflection : “It’s about God, Families and Friends.”](https://pmsolutionpro.com/christmas-day-2019/) - It is my prayer that many of you will be spending some great time with your respective close families and friends. In all the upcoming festive gatherings, make sure you don’t forget the grandparents who started you all! They are very much a part of each family unit that came to be. They’d be thrilled with even just a call from their kids and of course, from their loveable, innocent and amazing grandchildren. Enjoy a few days with the people you truly care about. Share traditional foods, common table, good-natured jokes, lessons learned, unforgettable experiences, plenty of hugs, heart-felt embraces full of affections, forgiveness, and love. The absence of family makes one sad, most especially during Christmas holiday. It is a difficult situation where a good friend can be a life-saver. Here’s wishing everyone in need on such an occasion to find a pair of helping hands, a just, good friend for this holy season. God bless us all! - [What’s your pet EAC formula?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/pet-eac/) - Project forecasting provides useful insights on the final cost. As such, along the way, as you periodically progress the project, you’ll want to know and re-assess the Estimate at Completion. It gives all a glimpse of the possible outcome that boils down to the project’s probability of a successful outcome or failure. I know of no singular formula to calculate EAC because there were several of them. Being a risk manager himself/herself, a project management professional’s task is to improve the project's predictability, enabling the project to make an accurate forecast whenever needed. In this, high quality inputs, recording vital information, data monitoring, administrative controls, and analysis are critical to achieve a successful forecast from which informed decision can emanate. Project cost projection (EAC) has to be based more on facts than assumptions to be useful! One must avoid the temptation of even thinking that forecasting as just a good guess, a gut feel, and/or a number exercise! - [What about SCHEDULE DANGLERS?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/schedule-dangler/) - Open ends are great indicators of missing scope/s, incomplete and/or missing planning inputs. The solution is to tie all valid network activities in the right sequence, according to the approved project execution plan and path of construction. A good schedule is a well-tied schedule and a well-tied schedule signifies complete scope. Source: Frago, R. (2015/2017).Plan to Schedule, Schedule to Plan.ISBN 978-0-9947608-2-1.Canada. A recent query from a colleague inspired me to write this short article on the subject of danglers, i.e. schedule danglers. I hope my humble insights will be useful. Open start danglers are activities where the only predecessor is either Finish-to-Finish or Start-to-Finish, resulting in an open start to the activity. They are also known as “dangling activities." The number of activities with open start (danglers) should be zero. The project scheduler should use Start-to-Start and Start-to-Finish links sparingly. Tie each activity end completely and properly to avoid danglers.

The cost of the effort involved translates to maybe more than tens of thousand times the amount being reconciled. My question to you all. 1) Do you think that this reconciliation exercise down to the cents value is really needed and why? 2) Is there a better approach?... a faster way of reconciliation?

It has found its way up the top tier of the hierarchy, firmly demonstrating that Canada can potentially take the rein in the near future (Frago, Rufran.The Risky Future of Oil). It is a pity however, that in the last ten years, this growth was stunted by a series of downturns, aggravated by adverse major political upheavals. Canada is sitting on large God-given oil and gas deposits so it is only logical to tap into them. Albertans will probably agree with me that it is a crazy idea to change the business focus to something else even in today’s hard time. Imagine your dining table laden with delicious foods and fruits and your neighbor and some of your children telling you not to eat? While feeling hungry and frustrated, they suggest that you go out and find your food elsewhere. It is almost like, "Hey you do have legs but please do not use it for walking. Find something else to get you moving." Do you agree with their suggestions or don’t you think they are foolish? (Frago, R., 2015.Keystone XL Final Rejection) - [Digital Transformation for Utilities](https://pmsolutionpro.com/digital-transformation-utilities/) - Digital transformation is all around us, whether it is depositing a cheque by phone, asking Alexa to turn down lights in a room, or smart kitchen devices sending cooking progress via Bluetooth. Using remote sensors and analytics to capture data and discover valuable insights about customers, assets and suppliers has opened a frontier for new innovative services and approaches to doing business. Broadly placed under the term digitalization, this development gives an organization better visibility into their operations and more control over outcomes, saving much time and effort while reducing human error and improving the overall customer experience and service quality. Is there a business case for digital transformation of utilities that operate vast system of assets and deliver vital services to many customers? As digital applications become mainstream, it is getting vital for the utilities to have a digital strategy to effectively manage the increasingly complex nature of their networks and services. - [Typical Attributes of a Phantom Schedule](https://pmsolutionpro.com/attributes-phantom-schedule/) - Some of the typical attributes of a Phantom Schedule are as follow: 1) Secret (unknown to the other contracting party) 2) It is a simplified version of the contract schedule 3) Considered more reliable and accurate 4) Viewed as a validation schedule that provides better forecasts5. 5) Updated in the background by sponsoring party 6) Decision-making tool by sponsoring party.

When that happens, as a Risk Manager, we should appreciate the brilliance of some people’s individual premises, suppositions, commentaries, and conclusions, for they can add value and substance to what we already know. There is an old tale about the three blind men who encountered an elephant for the first time and attempt to learn about it by touch alone. Somehow, I am now tempted to change the story to the three blind project managers who encountered risk for the first time and attempted to learn about it. The story about the three project managers and a project is like the story of Jain’s parable of The Blind Men and the Elephant. The parable is quite relevant to what we are discussing here. - [What about Boxing and Risk-based Management?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/boxing-and-risk-based-management/) - Boxing is a risky event for all involved, most especially the boxers. Yes, the protagonists themselves. Monitoring risk can be like watching boxing. Two competitors, both with the intention to strike whenever there is opportunity. They execute the plan, psyche each other, try to prevent and mitigate the threats of getting KO’ed, strive to make the right response, and to make the right decision through keen observation, at a flinch of a muscle (risk indicator). As a risk-based management practitioner, the bloody sport of boxing is so exciting and fascinating. In my view, it relates so well, … so very close with the concept and philosophies of risk management. “No pain, no gain,” as the old saying goes! Boxers, their coaches, and cornermen have to come up with a response plan to prevent or mitigate the punches. They put together a strategy prior to the bout similar to a project preparing the risk management plan. They know that boxing judges have a decision to make and it has to be the right one, that is of course, one in their favour! They have only one end goal in mind, to be the winner! In risk management, as in boxing, playing and losing can still be an Opportunity! Amazing Statistics! - [How about understanding your Project’s Schedule Critical Path better?](https://pmsolutionpro.com/understanding-critical-path/) - Critical Path is a measure of schedule flexibility, discernable through each activity total float. On any network path, flexibility is the positive difference between early and late dates (PMI, Project Risk Management, 2013). It is the shortest time possible for a project to finish. “Be careful of relative critical path. This is the critical path relative to some select points of constraint only." "The path it generates does not represent the overall project’s critical path. The real overall critical path of the schedule is one generated by the calculation of a schedule that has no constraint, a schedule that flows freely. - [PM Solution Pro travel log : BSU aiming to be one of the leading Universities in the Philippines and Asia](https://pmsolutionpro.com/first-visit-bsu/) - Rufran’s recent trip to the Philippines brought him back to his alma mater, Batangas State University (BSU). It’s been almost twenty years since he last set foot in the University Main Campus. His purpose was to see the University and Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo. It was a privilege to be given the chance to talk with him considering that whole week was extremely busy with graduation rites he needed to attend to. It was a "short-notice request" for an appointment made through Dr. Jessie Montalbo, Vice President for Administration and External Affairs, the final arrangement of which was subsequently coursed through the University Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs and concurrent University Librarian Dr. Agnes D. Arellano. He walked through the concrete roads, walkways, stairs and corridors leading to the Office of the President with pride and yearning in his every step. The place was vastly improved with new buildings, modern infrastructures, state-of-the art facilities, and a well-balanced façade more pleasing to the eyes. The amazing growth BSU has undergone through the years was truly a sight to behold. The President proudly intimated during our discussion one of his favourite philosophies, “To appreciate the content, one has to develop a good container.” - [Happy 4th of July 2019 to all our American Family, Friends and Colleagues!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/4th-of-july-19/) - Let no one ever forget... “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” - [Happy Canada Day to all Freedom-loving people out there!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/canada-day2019/) - Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of July 1, 1867, the effective date of the Constitution Act, 1867 (then called the British North America Act, 1867), which united the three separate colonies of the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single Dominion within the British Empire called Canada.[1][2] Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed.[3] Canada Day celebrations take place throughout the country, as well as in various locations around the world, attended by Canadians living abroad.[4] - [Book-signing Promo Event, at Dana Point, CA a success!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/book-signing-success/) - My apprehension that the small group who attended that evening might not show any interest on the subject was unfounded. The ensuing discussions were lively and fruitful. There was excitement in the air, gasps of discovery in each turn, and a promise from the audience to read and promote my work. This small, simple book-signing event was fun and successful. This was first this year since my last book-signing at Indigo Hills, Calgary two years ago. Topic of the evening: We are all risk managers! Risk management is the only thing we do for a living, the very reason why our company or client pays us, the reason why we go to work every day. We manage risk even as we prepare to go to sleep, to increase probability that we wake up the next day healthy and refreshed. The amazing thing is, we don't even realize it! In this sense, we are all risk managers as we support our very existence. We survive each daily rigors because we are already unconsciously competent of what we do through years of experience and training. - [PM Solution Pro participated in the AACE Dinner Meeting, “Proactive Trend and Change: Avoiding the Iceberg Effect.”](https://pmsolutionpro.com/aace-dinner-kincardine/) - Risk is about the future. Imagine that from “NOW” (the present) and the future state, there is a timeline. The time duration to the future has to have a value. Threat and Opportunity is about the future. There is no additional sense saying future risk. Saying so is redundancy. Reliability of work data increases over time, and it signals the right time for full integration. Reliability is a result of data maturity. Good integration results in an effective risk-based project execution, the execution that makes most sense. While the acquisition of good quality information is always in progress, the risk specialist and each team member should strive to help the project manager identify and highlight critical elements needed for success. Always remember that risks must be identified before they can be managed. Risks cannot be identified if no information or indicator relating thereto exists. Unknown risks cannot be managed. - [Stephen Odusanya takes on the role of PM Solution Pro Project and Construction Engineering Advisor](https://pmsolutionpro.com/stephen-odusanya/) - Stephen Odusanya is one of PM Solution Pro’s highly regarded resource in the field of project engineering and construction coordination.

For instance, with mobile devices with barcode scanners technicians can record and tag the results of equipment maintenance and test result so their values can be tracked against acceptable norms to flag any abnormalities that may warrant further inspection. If this information can be monitored and tracked for all major or critical equipment, then at any time there’s a good indication of enterprise wide assets health. With data at fingertips it is easy to start looking for patterns such as assets nearing end of optimal useful life before reliability metrics start being impacted or risk of costly catastrophic failure start becoming unacceptable resulting in long-term operational savings. - [Cost Reduction Strategies for Utilities Part 3: Asset Life-cycle Considerations](https://pmsolutionpro.com/cost-reduction-for-utilities-part-3/) - Capital project designs need to consider assets full life-cycle costs to better understand the truer cost of environmental permitting and land acquisition, build, operations, maintenance and disposal to end up with assets that bring long-term value. For instance, there has been much research done in-terms of loading various assets to go beyond their design capacities into their safe-operating limits where you start to trade the remaining asset life for short-term or momentary loading such as during emergency situations or momentary peak demands. You can also extend life of existing assets by replacing only the components that have reached their limits. - [Cost Reduction Strategies for Utilities Part 5: Enterprise Resource Planning System](https://pmsolutionpro.com/cost-reduction-utilities-part-5/) - In plain words an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a central database system that houses financial, human resources, material, schedule, regulatory and work orders information about the capital and operational expenditures (capex and opex) of a company. It has various modules that display that information in a fashion that is suitable for various departments, functions and levels of an organization. An ERP system today is a crucial tool for utilities to bring greater visibility to the workflows, resource availability, productivity levels, stakeholder commitments and asset management. Access to good data leads to better decisions. Utilities have all kinds of useful and important data about their people, projects, asset health, contractors, facilities, inspection and maintenance, connection requests, regulatory commitments and documents. - [Cost Reduction Strategies for Utilities Part 2: Technology Adoption](https://pmsolutionpro.com/cost-reduction-utilities-part-2/) - In the early 1900’s when electricity was being distributed to the houses. Utilities were considered technology companies because they were laying the foundation of the modern life and there was a strong demand for electricity service to be able to bring light and connect time saving tools and appliances at home with perhaps the same longing eyes as there is today with the latest smart devices. Somewhere along the way utilities lost their cool and instead of being innovators utilities became known as bureaucratic and boring. - [Cost Reduction Strategies for Utilities Part 1: Multi-purpose Use Assets](https://pmsolutionpro.com/cost-strategies-utilities-part-1/) - Utilities are trusted with a responsibility to provide a standard service at a regulator approved rate, without a right to refuse anyone, with expectations for the highest levels of public safety and reliability of service. That makes us conservative by nature, I get it. But that’s no excuse to be complacent, hiding behind the shadow of greater responsibility and walls of regulation, thinking that we have too many constraints to innovate. Hoping that our business model will continue to deliver value for our customers, the shareholders and the stakeholders. Utilities are at a crossroad today and they need to decide whether they are going to evolve to become more innovative on their own initiative or are they going to be forced by customer pressure through political will and regulators or be taken-over by the non-utility competition. - [Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there!](https://pmsolutionpro.com/happy-mothers-day2019/) - The greatest gift a man can give to his children is to love and respect their mother (Hesburgh, T., 1917-2015).
